Default Post a picture that you took.

Like the title says, post up a picture that you took yourself. It doesn't have to be Pontiac related, as long as you were there and took the picture yourself. Being a picture you took yourself, tell us the reason or story behind the picture. I'll start with a picture of my car, and the engine that was removed from it in 1987. This was the first thing I did to the car after buying it for $1500.

I took this probably ten years ago. It was taken in Yorktown, Va. near the battle fields.
It was too nice to not take a picture of.

Default Pusan South Korea

During a trip to South Korea about 10 yrs ago, I was taking pics of some of the buildings off the beaten path. Noticed the little kid in a stroller, "parked" by the curb, and no one else around!
The guy driving me around didn't want to get involved, but thankfully after 5 or so minutes, someone came to retrieve the illegally parked toddler!

I took this a few days ago at the Coronado Hotel in San Diego with my cell phone. A little girl ice skating at the beach in San Diego. She's looking at a Falcon that was there to keep the seagulls away.

Nice catch, especially on ultra light gear...I'm floating in the middle of the Currituck sound adjacent to dayboard 76...just had a bite but missed it.

EPIC fight. I was shaking when I finally lipped it.

After thinkin this over a bit, I believe the first pic I took, that had anything to do with Pontiacs, was of TJ standing beside her E/SA '68 Bird, in 1975. That's the pic that was on the front page of the H-O newsletter, in the issue when it was the feature car.

She took most all our pics. But these, she obviously did not take. Had to be me operating the camera.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
